We used data from subtidal ecosystems (see metadata files for more information). Only stations that have been sampled both for abiotic parameters and benthic species were included.

Selected variables for the analyses:

Abundances of Bipalponephtys neotena (Bneo) and Spisula solidissima (Ssol) were also considered (see IndVal and SIMPER results).

3. Univariate regressions

Independant variables are habitat parameters and heavy metal concentrations, dependant variables are diversity indices. We used linear models for the all regressions on diversity indices.

3.1. Identification of outliers

To identify stations that are not consistent with the others, we used the multivariate Cook’s Distance (CD) on the uncorrelated variables. A significative threshold of 4 times the mean of CD has been established.

Based on Cook’s Distance, we identified stations 1, 19 and 29 as general outliers. They have been deleted for the following analyses.

3.2. Correlations between parameters

Correlations have been calculated with Spearman’s rank coefficient.

According to these results, the following variables are highly correlated (\(|\rho|\) > 0.80) so they have been considered together in the regressions:

  • cadmium, chromium and manganese concentrations (cadmium and manganese deleted)
  • lead and zinc concentrations (zinc deleted)

We also decided to exclude clay content in the regressions, as it tends to increase drasticaly VIFs due to a marginal negative correlation with sand (very high \(R^{2}\)).

3.3. Simple regressions

These analyses have been done to explore the relationships between variables. As it is a huge number of results to interpret, only multiple regressions will be included in the article.

4. Multivariate regression

Independant variables are habitat parameters and heavy metal concentrations, dependant variables are species abundances. Outliers and correlated variables have been excluded from the analysis.

This analysis has been done on PRIMER, with a DistLM to identify the variables that explain the most the community variability and with a dbRDA to plot the results.
